Firefighters in Southern California are once again battling a wildfire, this time in Castaic in Los Angeles County, north of Los Angeles itself. Evacuation orders have been issued for the surrounding areas. FOX 11 Los Angeles is reporting that the Hughes Fire broke out around 11 a.m. in the area of Lake Hughes Road near the 5 Freeway and Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire. It grew from an estimated 500 acres as of 11:45 a.m. to 5,054 acres just over an hour later.
A 60% to 80% chance of a small amount of rain was forecast for Southern California starting Saturday, with most areas likely getting not more than a third of an inch , according to Ryan Kittell, a meteorologist for the weather service’s office for Los Angeles. However, up to an inch could fall in localized thunderstorms, which would be a worst-case scenario if enough falls on scorched slopes.
